Global Conversations

Local and global issues evolve, and Iowa International Center aims to make connections that build a welcoming Iowa and a safer world.

In our long history of hosting international dialogue, we now aim to deliver Global Conversations that recognize the challenges of the day, including a global pandemic.

We’re now developing additional partners and programs to meet this moment. When we can, we aim for face-to-face meetings as an alternative to social media discourse and digital news.

Join us in our shared passion for thoughtful discussion about critical issues for Iowa and the world.

The need for global community has never been greater, and we welcome your participation.
